LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 1. (Staff
Correspondence!) Dolly Gray, the big Loo
Loo southpaw, was the feltew who stop
ped Portland's winning streak here today.
They beat us 4 to 2, with Garvin In the
box.
The Portland giants outhit Los Angeles,
but Bull Perrine refused four close de
cisions that counted against Portland, and
this, with a couple of wlerd Infield mis
cues In the first inning, gave Los An
geles a flying start of two runs. It was
a base on balls given to Bernard, the first
man up; a fluke double-sacker, which
was poked out by Jud Smith, and these
two errors mentioned that spelled ruin for
the Northerners.
And yet Morley's crew needed this
handicap of two, for with anything like
a little speck of baseball luck and those
close decisions that Umpire Perrine - de
nied us, Portland would have made it
three straight. Perrine was touched up
In lively fashion by the fans and the
newspaper critics for calling Smith out
at first yesterday afternoon.
Umpire Roasts Begin Early.
Big McLean had given htm the football
shoulder as he was trying to get into
first. Smith never got within three feet
of the bag, for when he collided with Mc
Lean he was bowled over like a puffball
and did not stop rolling for ten feet.
The fans declare that this robbed Los
Angeles of one run, and they handed him
a roast that was brown. Today Bull made
sure to take care of Captain Dillon's end
of the matinee. He did, and everything
that McCredie's men got they earned.
Portland kept finding Gray's curves, but
they were unable to bunch their hits, so
the scoring was delayed until the sixth
Inning. Toman's error gave them this
run, and things settled down until the
eighth. "With one down Portland filled
the bases with a single by "Van Buren and
two bases on balls.
Atz' Hit Scrapes Fence.
Atz lined one to the center-field
fence, and for a brief couple of seconds
It looked as if he would duplicate his
home-run of yesterday. But he was
cheated of even a hit by a great catch
by Bernard, who picked the ball off the
fence. In the second Cravath placed
a two-bagger to left. Boss sacrificed
him to third, and he scored on Toman's
dinky blngle back of short.
In the eighth Inning Bernard lammed
out a hot liner that almost tore Gar
vin's hand off, and it counted for a
single. He scored when Garvin let a
spit-ball get away from him. With
only half an inning between them and
defeat, these giants made a desperate
bid for the game, and they threw a
chill into the fans by the savage way
in which they started after Gray. Atz
led off with a screamer that was safe.
McLean lifted a pop fly that Dillon
gobbled, and Swindells flew out to
Bernard. With these two killed off,
Cates went In to bat for Garvin. The
stocky pitcher hit to right field and
was robbed of a two-bagger by Crav
ath's brilliant run and pick-up. Van
Buren poked out his second single of
the engagement, and this filled the
cushions. Manager McCredle got Gray
going-, and he passed him four wide
ones, forcing in Atz and a run. Larry
Schlafley tried hard to get the ball out
of the Infield, but failed, and the agony
and suspense which had held the local
fans was over.
Put St. Vrain in Box.
Manager McCredle will either pitch
Jimmy St Vrain or Cates tomorrow af
ternoon. In all probability it will be
St. Vrain, for these Loo Loos do not
feed well on southpaws. Jimmy has
beaten Los Angeles almost every time
he has met them, and if he does, it will
make three for us. The score:

Chat Among the Multnomah Clubmen
By James P. Rintoul.
THE next big event within the
Multnomah Club will be the re
turn boxing and wrestling tour
nament with the Seattle Athletic
Club. Edgar Frank, in charge of
this end of the club's work, has sub
mitted his weights for contestants and
has asked for April 2S as the date, and Js
now waiting the acceptance of the Seat
tle club. Seattle, while long on wres
tlers, Is short on boxers, and has but one
man, Bennett, who In the last contest
fought a draw with Frank. For this rea
son the tournament In Seattle will con-,
slst of one boxing event and three on the
padded mat. Frank has submitted as the
club's representatives Hood Bottler to
box Dave Bennett at 12S. In wrestling
the M. A. A. C. will be represented by Ed
Johnson at 15S, Edgar Frank at 130 and a
substitute for De France at 155 or 140.
De France was billed to go to Seattle,
hut a necessary absence from the city
will prohibit him from taking part. The
representative In his place has not yet
been chosen, but several good men are
in view.
Upon the acceptance by Seattle of these
weights and date full arrangements will
be completed. Multnomah has asked for
the 2Stb, since a large number of the
club boys have expressed their desire to
go to Seattle af rooters If the meeting is
held at that time.
After the successful meeting recently
held with Seattle, the club is now endeav
oring to hold several other tournaments
GETS MANY ENTRIES
Judge Skinner Is Successful
at Los Angeles.
MANY HORSES COMING NORTH
Valuable Stakes Offered by Portland
Race Officials Attract Horsemen
Strings of Racers Will
Soon Arrive Here.
BY WILL G. MACRAE.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., April 1. (Staff
Correspondence.) Frank St. D. Skinner,
who is to be presiding judge at the race
meeting to be held at Portland this year,
has been In Los Angeles for the past two
days getting stake entries.
In splto of the fact that this was get
away week, Mr. Skinner h$s been ex
tremely successful, and in two days has
received over 200 nominations for the
stakes. The entries that Mr. Skinner got
yesterday and today are only a part of the
stake entries that the Portland meet will
get from here. The entry blanks were sent
hero several weeks ago and were filled
.out1 and mailed to the Multnomah Fair
Association secretary. Those that Judge
Skinner got while here, added to those
obtained at Oakland will assure the Port
land stakes between 00 and 1000 entries
for the valuable stakes offered by the
Portland, racing officials.
The horsemen at both tfc Ascot track
and at Oakland are afraid of the threat
ened turf war that Is oh the horizon in
the Middle West, and rather than take a
chance on having the war close the
tracks at Chicago, Kansas City and other
racing points,' they will, remain on the
Coast and race their stables this Summer
In the Northwest.
Only those who are going back to New
.York will leave the Coast this Summer.
Ascot races closed today, and in fivo
weeks they will end at Oakland, and the
owners and trainers, after resting their
stables a week or so, will begin snipping
to Portland. Some of them will ship
of that character and Edgar Frank is
now In correspondence with the Spokane
Athletic Club and the Olympic Club, of
San Francisco. Boxing and wrestling
tournaments with both of these- clubs will
be arranged for. If possible, and they
should be big drawing cards. San Fran
cisco, the home of boxers, should send up
a delegation which would try tho mettle
of the local boys and give them all the
work they want for one evening. Spe
kane, too, Is said to have a fast bunch of
hoxers In Its membership.
Baseball in the club has been at a
standstill during the past week, owing to
the weather conditions. The league gamos
scheduled for last Sunday wero postponed,
owing to rain, so that no game has been,
played yet.
The advent of the proverbial "dark
horses" has made necessary the rear
rangement of the club schedule, and this
will he done next week, so as to permit
the unknown quantity at least to have a
chance In the running.
The advent of a lot of new and fresh
blood in the Banks of the club's baseball
players has In no way put the old stand
bys In the shade.
Wickersham, the idol of past years, Is
In front, stronger than ever, and his good
right arm still continues to a man-el. The
man who can stand way out In the left
garden and with ease throw the ball to
the plate caused C F. Swigert to mutter
a prayer of thanks the other evening
that Wickersham played -in the field In
stead of behind .the bat "Why," he said,
QKF -JVTZ
their strings just as soon as they can get
cars. These will be the owners who
raced at the Lewis and Clark city last
year. Their horses did sOTwell'in the
Northwest that they are anxious to get
them back and rest them at Irvington
track.
In speaking of racing at Portland this
year Judge Skinner said: "Judging from
the great number of entries we have re
ceived already and from the number of
horsemen who have applied for stalls,
Portland will not only see the highest
class of horses racing for the stake
events, but will have more horses than
can be taken care of that will run for
the purses offered.
"Owners and trainers, who In formor
years have returned to the East, will
stay and race In the Northwest. I feel
that this will be the greatest race meet
ing that Portland ever saw."
Colonel Ruppert Wins, 8 to 1.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., April L There
were few April fool jokes played on the
public at Ascot today, the closing day of
the Winter meeting. The big crowd was
more than fairly successful In picking
winners, several of the successful horses
being backed to their lowest prices at
post time. The only real surprise was In
the big race of the day, the Jonathan
Club handicap, which fell to Colonel Rup
pert at odds of S to 1. He was liberally
played at this price. The results:
One mile and 70 yards Estado won.
Rose of Hilo second, Florista third; time.

"supposing Wickersham was playing
catcher. It would be a snap for the other
team because If 'Wick' ever let the ball
go to second base there Isn't a man who
could stop it. It would simply mean that
we would have, to use the entire outfield
to back up the basemen."
Manager Honeyman has not yet re
ceived any definite reply from the clubs
or colleges regarding games, but Is still
after a schedule. Victoria was written to
this last week for a game and within a
short time dates will probably be fixed for
the different clubs.
Physical Director Krohn Is working hard
with both Juniors and seniors in prepara
tion for gymnastic contests. The club
expects to make a big showing at the
Fair, and no work will be spared to put
out winning teams.
The water polo fever is beginning to
catch In the club, and the formation of
teams for this fascinating water pastime
Is in progress.
This sport is a new one for Portland,
but to the laymen it can best be de
scribed as basketball played In the water.
In athletic clubs it is usually played In
the swimming tank, and the following
extracts from the rules of the game will
convey an idea as to Its playing.
The ball shall be the regulation white
rubber association football, not less than
seven inches nor more than eight inches
In diameter.
The goals shall be spaces four feet long
and 12 Inches wide, marked "Goal" lh
FAST STROKE WINS
Oxford Defeats Cambridge on
the Thames.
TOOK LEAD FROM THE START
Strokesman of Light Blues Tries to
Spurt, but Oxonians Keep Up
a Steady Swing and
Are Not Headed.
LONDON, April 1. Oxford today won
the 62d annual boat race between the
Universities of Oxford and Cambridge,
defeating the latter by three lengths.
The race was rowafiT In beautiful
weather. There was not a ripple on
the water and the wind was very light.
Consequently there was not much ad
vantage in the choice of stations. This
contest, always attractive, drew an
unusually large crowd today, as the
waterside experts had all prophesied
the best race In years, owing to the
evenness of the crews. The prophecy,
however, was not fulfilled. Oxford,
speedily taking the lead and heading
the procession to the finish.
Cambridge won the toss and selected
the Surrey side of the river. The
boats got awuy to a splendid start at
11:34 A. M., but Bucknell set the dark
blues (Oxford) a slashing stroke of 36
to the minute, and almost Immediately
established a lead which was never
lost.
When Crawfsteps wero reached tho
Oxonians were a few lengths to the
front, and the cheering of their sup
porters on the river banks was some
thing to ho long remembered. Both
crews were still rowing strong, but the
dark blues continued to come away
and soon had several lengths advan
tage. Passing the Saccharine Works, Tay
lor (Cambridge) called on the light
blues, who made a gallant response
and closed the gap by half a length.
But the dark blues' stroke soon shook

The ball shall be kept on or as near the

the club, and as water polo will be In

will be formed to represent the club in
that event.
The Innovation of having the various
club committees meet with the board of
directors once each month has proved to
be a big success In every way, as demon
strated last Wednesday night. This will
be continued now and the Joint meeting
held monthly.
It has been decided to hold a members'
night next Saturday, and a programme is
now In preparation. The events of the
evening will be confined to club affairs,

their lead. 1 .. v '
Off Chiswick it-was evident that the
race had already been decided. Some
of the Cambridge crews showed signs
that they were weakening, but Taylor
made another effort with a stroke
somewhat faster than that of Oxford.
It was not well pulled through, how
ever, and a lack of rhythm was mani
fested. Thereafter the leaders were
never pressed and passed the ship at

Poolrooms Bought Protection.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 1. As a result
of the antl-poolroom agitation, the grand
jury, the Police Department and the Po
lice Judges have joined hands for a vig
orous campaign, and assurance Is given
that the evil will be wiped out.
Foreman Andrews of the grand jury
made the direct charge today that a large
corruption fund had been wrung from the
poolrooms and "other places' for months,
and that Immunity from arrest and prose
cution had been bought with It for the
contributors. He said the grand jury
knew how much had been paid for this
purpose and who had made the collec
tions. The question the body of which
he was the head had to solve was what
officials received the money paid for
immunity.

Chairman Kerrigan has issued a call for
a meeting of the club athletes next
Thursday night for the purpose of elect
ing a captain and perfecting an organi
zation for the year. In addition to the
men of last year, the field and' track squad
will be strengthened by the addition of at
least 30 recruits. The club this year will
devote more than usual attention to the
Juniors, in order to bring them out. Junior
events this year will receive a prominent
place In contests, but aside from that the
club Is beginning to realize that the junior
of this year will be the senior of the fu
ture, and that attention paid to him now
may mean tho production of a club win
ner and champion.
Prior to the opening of the Fair the
club will hold several field and track
events, and the junior games will prob
ably be the first on the schedule. These
will be followed by handicap field events
and later an open meet will be held under
the club, in which all amateurs of the
Coast will be invited to participate.
The club trackmen are preparing them
selves for the meet to be held at the Co

man, and name Mulligan, too, has been
secured by the club, and In the 100, 220 and
440-yard dashes he is expected to defeat all
opponents.
Points Made by Local Players Show
That They Are Now In the
Same Class With East
ern Enthusiasts.
Bowling, while it has had its de
votees In the clubs for several years
past, Is only now coming Into its own
In Portland. The advent of several
new alleys, provided for the conven
ience of the general public, has prob
ably had by far the larger part in
arousing popular enthusiasm, even
though they were demanded by those
lovers of the sport who could not lay
claim to possession of alleys through
olub membership.
Portland's enthusiasts may be di
vided into two classes those who bowl
under club membership and those who
have created the necessity of public
alleys In which leagues have been
formed.
Although bowling has but lately
taken prominence in Portland. Its al
leys find many who can well afford to
take, the chances of holding tholr own
with their fellow-sportsmen of th
East, where bowling has been in vogue
for many years.
In the Multnomah Club interest is
stimulated by a weekly tournament In
which eight teams take part. The
games of this tournament are held on
Monday and Tuesday evening of each
week, four teams playing each night.
Prizes are offered in the shape of club
pins for the team maintaining the
highest standing in three consecutive
weeks. In the past week the team
composed of Hudson. Routledge, Sur
man and Kahn were the leaders, total
ing a score of 661. with their allowance.
The following are the total scores in
last week's tournament, figuring in the
allowances for each team:
Hudson, Routledge. Surmon. Kahn.... Btl
Riddell. Harlow. Krausse. Brown.... 5?0
Zachrisson. Werschkul. McCabe. .Buck
Wickersham. Miller. Zan, Frohman.. MB

Lovejoy 12
Brlgham. Oliver, Eckenberger, Mc-
Cracken
Wels, Ford. Robinson. Funge SIS
Rogers, Churchman, Hagedorn, Par
sons sst
Within the next week the club will
endeavor to arouse further Interest in
bowling by offering weekly prizes for
individual winners.
The Commercial Club bowlers are In
no manner behind other bowlers in the
amount of interest shown, but the great
drawback at that club is a lack of al
loys to accommodate all those who
wish to play.
In the past week Eckenberger, Gra
ham, Wheeler, Howard, Jones, Banks.
McCargar and A. R. Diamond have run
up big scores.
Beginning April 1 a 50-game handi
cap contest will begin in tho club and
gold pins have been provided for the
two having the highest scores.
The general public ten-pin lovers find
their pleasure in the alleys about town.
At the Portland Bowling Alley a league
has been formed and the scheduled
games are playod on Monday, Tuesday
and Thursday nights of each week. The
past week has witnessed the bowling
of exceptionally good scores on these
alleys. On Monday evening the Gold
Leaf team in the league game-against
the Bankers rolled the highest single
ever bowled in Portland by a five-man
team when they totnled 1022 pins. In
this game Flcken bowled 276. which Is
a record.
On Wednesday night the Gambrinus
team, in the Portland Ten-pin League,
bowled the highest total for three
games bowled so far In the leucue
when they secured a total of 2T34 pins.
The highest single average for three
games was secured by Withers, of th
All-Stars, in the league game against
the Bankers, last Wednesday, when he
had 228 marked in his favor.
Monday and Tuesday afternoons a
picked team from the Portland Bowl
ing Alleys went against a team from
Newberg. Or., and won out handsomely
In both matches-
A feature of the work on tho Port
land alleys is the ladies' afternoon",
and the sisters of the men are rapidly
getting to the point where they can do
a thing or two themselves when it
comes to making the strikes and
spares.

Mayor Williams opened up the new
Oregon bowling alleys on Seventh
street last night by rolling the first
ball. .He lifted the big globe slowly
and swung it steadily, but it had not
hardly run a half of its appointed
course before it was cavorting down
the siJe alley to the loud applause of
the spectators. Fred T. Merrill then
tried a hand and knocked all but oae
